The House of Commons and House of Lords have joined forces to launch an experimental service that will allow people to watch and listen to proceedings via their PCs.

Parliamentlive.tv will offer four channels to choose from. Audio-visual coverage of both Houses will be available 'gavel to gavel' on two dedicated lines, while initially the two other channels will carry audio coverage of a variety of Select and Standing Committee and audio-visual coverage of Sittings of the House of Commons in Westminster Hall. This may change during the course of the experiment.
